Is this a joke? YES, IT IS!!! A C63 AMG BS that has about $30K to $40K in mods (if not more) beating up on a bone stock M5 - and you're acting like this is a major accomplishment?? C'mon man! You can't be serious! I don't care if the owner of the M5 asked you to race. The playing field is still not level. You better have won big time with the BS and $$$ in mods. At some point, you have got to stop being fan boys and start using logic and common sense. My bad, you don't have that. I'm out of this thread. This is total BS, and I'm not talking about your car.

Nobody is saying it's a major accomplishment. It just goes to show how much faster a blown M156 is with a 3.0 liter blower than a stock M5. Nobody is propping up the F10 M5, personally I feel that car is a letdown. So sorry, it's not even a major accomplishment to beat up on it as it's EASY to do so.

You mean like being enthusiasts and actually going to an event to run cars instead of keyboards?

LMAO....you want to see an M3 running 11psi, pull a pin on a hand grenade....a M3 would blow up on 11psi

YOU could, but it'd need to be running serious Race Gas (maybe even E85) & a top tier tune. Def would be something "built to last". The VF650 kit runs 7.5-8psi on 93 octane, so another 3 pounds of boost running on ~120 octane with proper tuning can be done

All it would need is some custom tuning and E85. 11psi has been easily hit on every stock M3 motor to date @ the given compression. The current suppliers aren't offering these kinds of tunes off the shelf, yet..Duh.

Eventually people will use the stock motor, and pump the compression down slightly with a thicker head gasket and different head studs.
This is where people are seeing 15-22psi + on stock S5x motors, without any special fuel

I want to see an M3 at 9psi and the C63 at 11psi, or both at 11psi. Would really be more interesting but the results where IMO good for the M3

I don't have that, but I ran a Weistec Stage 2 C63 AMG at the same event. The guy is apparently running 11psi and trapped 129.1 at Famoso. My car is supposed to make 6.5psi but on 20 separate dyno's at EAS it measured anywhere between 4.9 and 5.25psi. Obviously the Stg 2 Weistec vs Stg 2 ESS is a better comparison than the Stg 3 Weistec vs Stg 2 ESS.

^^ Noted. I was going to say, if that's 11psi then something might be up with the 63.

TopSpeed did 526whp @ 5.5 psi VT-535 none intercooled, catless. It was a cold day, Doug noted. This was a custom tune, not an off the shelf flash. That very car is for sale, go check if you are in dis-belief.
